Dobbertine students celebrate a new parallel tandem for more inclusion!

Dobbertin, Deutschland - The lessons at the Theodor Fontane special school in Dobbertin will now be enriched by a very special vehicle: a parallel tandem that invites the students to participate in the bicycle initiative with motor restrictions. The tandem was transported by the Philipp Reich's freight forwarder in Goldberg, which kindly provided its services free of charge for this purpose. The headmistress Svea Krause was extremely pleased with the arrival of the tandem and reported on a successful test drive on the freight forwarder. The students also had the opportunity to visit the forwarding machine and just sit down comfortably.

The parallel tandem will make a significant contribution to participating and self -fulfillment of the students by enabling them to be active together with their classmates. "The feeling of freedom and mutual movement is invaluable for our students," says Krause. The transport and the entire organization were implemented smoothly thanks to the commitment of André Lewerenz, who established contact with the freight forwarder

call for donations for further projects

The purchase of the tandem was financed by generous donations, for which the parents' council and the school management of the Theodor Fontane special school express their thanks. To further promote mobility, the parents' council is planning a fundraising campaign entitled "Give mobility - enable participation!". This initiative aims to finance a rickshaw, which is specially intended for children and adolescents with complex multiple disabilities to enable them to participate in the bicycle initiative.

The total amount of the required funds amounts to around 4,500 euros. Krause points out that the school is not eligible for common social donation projects. Every contribution counts, no matter how small, to realize the goals of inclusion, participation and joy for movement for the children. Donations can be transferred directly to the association of the association to promote the Dobbertin e.V. monastery.

inclusion as an important component

The efforts come at the right time, especially since the implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Disabilities in Germany continues to be a challenge. A study by the Berlin Science Center for Social Research revealed that there are hardly any progress in inclusion in several federal states, such as Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria. The situation is different in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, where steps towards inclusive regular school offers have already been taken. [ Deutsches-Schulportal ] Inclusion and participation are not only keywords, but essential components School education that strengthen the coexistence and sense of community.

With the parallel tandem and the desired RiScha, Theodor Fontane special school shows that inclusion succeeds in practice and children can be actively involved in school life with support. A strong sign for everyone who is close to life.
